Co-owner of the Adamant holding, Arkady Teplitsky, whose fortune is estimated at 2 billion rubles, told in an interview with Delovoy Peterburg how the idea of a big business was born in a bathhouse, where they sent SMS to God and that St. Petersburg business is more susceptible to snobbery.
"DP": Oleg Tinkov likes to remember the story about how the idea to produce dumplings came to him in a bathhouse. Under what circumstances did you decide to start a business?
Arkady Teplitsky: In this we are similar to Mr. Tinkov, because the idea with which, in fact, big business began for me, was also born in the bathhouse. But at first, while still at the institute, I worked in a cooperative producing paraffin candles.
I was 21 years old. My responsibilities included forming work teams; I recruited them from my institute comrades. They worked in terrible conditions: they rented basements, often flooded, and at night they learned the basics of business - pouring candles and packing them. They sold in Moscow, Tver, Nizhny Novgorod, Leningrad... Of course, the work was seasonal - mainly 2-3 months before the New Year.
And my first business, probably like most entrepreneurs of my generation, was connected with trade. At first they sold cigarettes, and then they started transporting meat from Estonia. It was 1991. In Leningrad, if you remember, there was a famine at that time. The business ended when Estonia became an independent state.
And then one day we decided to get together with old fellow classmates whom we had not seen for a long time. I must admit, I have been very lucky in life: I met the people who are my partners today at the institute.
So, we decided to get together in the bathhouse. And one of my comrades said that he saw trade fairs in Moscow. We began to think and discuss and decided to organize the same fair in Leningrad. This is how the fair appeared in the SKK, and this business was already quite large at that time. Over time, the fairs became even larger. They served as the basis for our current business - the construction and operation of shopping complexes.
"DP": How did the restaurant business appear in your life?
Arkady Teplitsky: You know, I always get angry when they write about me: “The famous restaurateur Arkady Teplitsky.” Because it's wrong to call me that. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am not a restaurateur. Mr. Novikov is a restaurateur, Mr. Lapin is a restaurateur, but I am not. Yes, I have several restaurants (five. - Ed.). I open them sometimes alone, sometimes with friends, because I love feeding people.
Most of all, I am a restaurateur at my dacha, when guests come to me and I feed them all, fry the meat. When I see a good place and don’t know what to do with it, I try to open a restaurant there. Sometimes it works out well, sometimes not so much. Restaurants are not my professional path. It's for fun. And then, what I like most about a restaurant is the process of its construction and creation. I love the interiors, the pleasant atmosphere. I don’t know the laws and rules for building a restaurant business, and therefore I don’t consider myself a restaurateur. I select the forks and spoons myself, yes. After all, my main business is development.
My business friends and I say this: we have a family, but no one is prohibited from having a mistress. Our family is “Adamant”, in which we are all together, but at the same time we each have separate projects. I also have restaurants.
"DP": What profession do you consider yourself to be?
Arkady Teplitsky: Translator. Now I will try to explain what I mean. Imagine that I am doing some kind of project: a shopping complex, a restaurant - it doesn’t matter. And so my contractors gathered at the meeting: a designer, a civil engineer, a future director, a fireman, a computer systems specialist.
They listen, but do not hear each other. Each of them understands their narrow segment of work, they are super-professional in it. But a ventilation systems specialist will never understand a designer, and a designer will never understand a fireman. And therefore my task is to be a translator for each of them.
When I lead projects, I am the only one who, at the moment when there is nothing but drawings, imagine how everything should be. I am a translator looking over the clearing. This is my specialty.
I once asked my good friend, the owner of a large chain of grocery supermarkets in Russia: “Well, tell me, old man, this is how it all works for you?” He looked at me in surprise and asked in response: “Do you really think that I understand anything about supermarkets?! I just know how to hire the right people.” The art of a businessman today lies in his charisma, the ability to see and understand the essence of a subject, and not the nuances and details, the ability to listen and find a common language...
"DP": You know how to find a common language with very different partners - with Igor Leitis, Mikhail Mirilashvili, etc. How do you do it?
Arkady Teplitsky: My partners and I, it seems to me, have one thing in common - a Jewish soul. Regardless of nationality. We are all different. And we had a lot of conflicts. But no matter how much we quarrel, no matter how differently we look at the same things, we grow together and become wiser.
The Jewish soul, after all, includes certain moral qualities, brought up by parents and traditions. We all grew up in a certain moral atmosphere. Our parents knew nothing about business, but they taught us to be friends; knew and taught us what to do and what not to do. I can send my comrade, but I cannot deceive him or harm him.
One of my partners said a wonderful phrase: “No matter how much we quarrel and no matter how much we are offended at each other, we are successful and have been together for so many years, because we always unite in the face of external danger.” Yes, we are one of the few teams that has reached the present day in its entirety from the very beginning. And this day is no less than 16 years old. We are friends first and foremost. We helped each other pick up children from maternity hospitals, celebrated birthdays together, enjoyed weddings together, went through divorces together... This is very important.
"DP": You had another project - Skyspell, which allowed you to send SMS to God. The printed text message was placed between the stones of the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Is it functioning?
Arkady Teplitsky: No, no. It was never considered a business. For me it was more of a game. I was wondering if I could come to an agreement with Israel at the level of the religious community, how they would perceive it in Russia...
Everyone knows what the Western Wall is: people of various religions come to it and leave notes between the stones with wishes to God. I was able to reach an agreement with a Jewish religious organization: I was allowed to set up a small office opposite the Western Wall in a Hasidic canteen where pilgrims ate for free. For this right I had to maintain a canteen. People from different cities of Russia began to send SMS.
The contents of the messages were displayed on a large screen, which we hung in front of the Western Wall. Then these messages were printed out, and every morning the rabbi took the notes and put them in the Wall. But there were few messages, and after 5-6 months it became obvious that it was already expensive to continue the project. But it was a good, charitable thing, I had great pleasure, although I lost money.
"DP": How are things going in your development business?
Arkady Teplitsky: Our business is not subject to strong ups and downs. It took 15 years to build, so to speak, one grain at a time. And what 1998 and, perhaps, even more severely, this crisis proved: those businesses that are capable of rapid rises are prone to equally strong falls.
Our business, 10 years ago and now, has shown stability and strength. Yes, we lost, but mainly due to the difference in the exchange rate - about 15-20% of our profitability. Unpleasant, of course, but not a nightmare, nightmare, nightmare.
"DP": Business, by its nature, always needs development...
Arkady Teplitsky: I don’t agree. We were also lucky because we managed to freeze the projects that we started in time. There is a time to scatter stones, there is a time to collect stones. Now is not the time to scatter.
"DP": When is the time to throw away the stones?
Arkady Teplitsky: I am flattered that you are asking a question that world economic institutions and presidents cannot answer. If you asked how my dacha would develop, I would answer. And so... We live in a common market field. When there is a general upsurge, then business will begin. This is such a banal answer. In general, I have a feeling that there is a fairly long period of stagnation ahead; The previous rush of demand for commercial space will not return soon. Even when the world emerges from the crisis, it will not return immediately.
"DP": So the golden years of the development business are over?
Arkady Teplitsky: In my opinion, for our generation, most likely, yes. I don't expect a renaissance in the next 7-8 years. The economic situation in the country depends not only on the fact that oil is rising in price, but to a greater extent on the modernization of the economy and the development of the real sector. Then an individual family begins to earn more and can already afford to have another child and buy inexpensive housing with a mortgage. The growth of the economy in any country depends on the growth of the financial condition of a particular family, and vice versa. And from many other factors. Including demographic ones. So, according to my understanding, this growth is possible no earlier than in 8-10 years.
"DP": Which business may have its golden years?
Arkady Teplitsky: Development and retail will not show rapid growth. Of course, individual players will develop rapidly in these areas as well. In unstable times, established “bisons” usually intervene. I expect the arrival of global “monsters” in the coming years: even more Metro, even more Castorama, etc. In the coming years, in my opinion, businesses related to IT technologies, the virtual world and similar areas will hold the trump card .
I don’t believe that, relatively speaking, tomorrow a 25-year-old graduate of some financial and economic academy will be able to buy a piece of land for $100 million, build a new quarter on it and successfully sell it. But I believe that a 25-year-old guy can come up with a brilliant computer program and continue the work of Bill Gates. Today's global economic situation exalts the role of ideas, the role of money and the material and technical base fades into the background.
"DP": What is your role at Petromir now?
Arkady Teplitsky: I don’t have a role in “Petromir” (one of Mikhail Mirilashvili’s assets. - Ed.). I don't work there. I do not have any functions or tasks in Petromir. Several people close to me work at this company. Yes, I was a member of the board of directors of Petromir when I took part in the creation of the PIK shopping and entertainment complex. I built it, and my story in Petromir ended.
"DP": There is an opinion that St. Petersburg entrepreneurs are more intellectual than Moscow ones. Do you agree?
Arkady Teplitsky: Well, what can I say about this... The fact that St. Petersburg business is more susceptible to snobbery is yes.
There is an observation with which I agree: after 2-3 years, after a person comes to Moscow, he becomes a Muscovite, but even if you lived in St. Petersburg for 15 years, but were not born in it, you will not be a St. Petersburg resident until the end. St. Petersburg business has a hard time accepting outsiders, and therefore Moscow’s economic rise is also connected with the fact that Moscow is much more democratic than St. Petersburg. Come to Moscow with a good idea, with your money - you will be accepted, you will join the business elite. Also, in my opinion, St. Petersburg business is highly cultured, and therefore less successful.
"DP": Will this crisis change anything in the minds of businessmen?
Arkady Teplitsky: They will become more thrifty with their money and existing successes. It became clear that business is not always a race, that you don’t always need more, and more, and more. It became clear that sometimes you need to stop and preserve what you have, and not run forward without looking back. But, in my opinion, the crisis did not bring anything positive to either the city or business. There will be prolonged stagnation. Look, nothing is happening...
"DP": You are opening a new restaurant.
Arkady Teplitsky: Yes... And this will greatly affect the entire world economy.
Arkady Teplitsky:
Born on July 17, 1964 in Leningrad. Graduated from the Institute of Railway Transport Engineers. Co-owner of the Adamant holding (19 shopping and entertainment complexes, the Domovoy chain, etc.). The co-owners also include Igor Leitis, Evgeniy Gurevich, Mikhail Bazhenov and Mikhail Berson. According to Finance magazine, Teplitsky's fortune is estimated at 2 billion rubles.
In the 1990s, Arkady Teplitsky stood at the origins of “civilized trade” when he, together with business partners, began to transfer trade from markets and fairs to shopping and entertainment centers. The company's first shopping and entertainment complex was "Balkansky" near the Kupchino metro station; it opened its doors in 1994. Now the total area of commercial real estate in Adamant's portfolio is more than 1.5 million m2.
In addition to business, Arkady Teplitsky is also involved in social activities. He became one of the trustees of the World Club of St. Petersburgers, and Teplitsky is also vice-president of the charitable foundation "Regional Jewish Congress in St. Petersburg."
By Arkady Teplitsky’s own admission, he failed to graduate from the Institute of Railway Transport Engineers the first time. He was expelled from the institute, and he had to recover in order to still receive a diploma.
Arkady Teplitsky owns 22% in the Adamant holding, which is engaged in the construction and management of commercial real estate. However, this is not his only business - the entrepreneur is also developing his own chain of Maximilian Brauhaus restaurants, which, as a rule, are located in the holding complexes.
Arkady Teplitsky entered business at the age of 27, when he decided to go into trading. His first large-scale project was a fair at the Petersburg Sports and Concert Complex, in the organization of which the businessman’s current partner, Igor Leitis, was also involved. Businessmen did not stop at one fair and opened several more markets in different areas of the city.
After this, entrepreneurs decided that it was time to organize “civilized” trade in St. Petersburg, moving it from the streets to comfortable complexes. Thus, in 1992, the Adamant holding appeared, the first store of which opened at 8 Sovetskaya, 9. And the company’s first shopping and entertainment complex, “Balkansky” near the Kupchino metro station, opened its doors in 1994.
Now the total area of commercial real estate in Adamant's portfolio is more than 1.5 million m2.
He took 30th place in the “Rating of Billionaires - 2015”, his fortune was estimated at 29 billion rubles.
How the billionaire's fortune changed in 2016
Arkady Teplitsky's main asset is 22% in the Adamant holding, the largest owner of commercial real estate in St. Petersburg. At the end of last year, the company put into operation the 2nd stage of the Victoria Plaza business center with an area of 46.3 thousand m2. In May 2016 - a distribution center in Shushary for X5 Retail Group with an area of 28.1 thousand m2. The holding's total commercial real estate volume exceeds 1.5 million m2. There are more than 260 thousand m2 of retail real estate at the construction and design stage.
Arkady Teplitsky entered business at the age of 27 - then he decided to go into trading. His first large-scale project was a fair at the Petersburg Sports and Concert Complex, in the organization of which the businessman’s current partner, Igor Leitis (No. 30), was also involved. Teplitsky also has a restaurant business. He develops the Maximilian Brauhaus chain.
At the dacha, in the style of Tim Burton’s film “Alice in Wonderland,” he takes his grandchildren on a carousel with the Cheshire Cat and the Dodo bird and treats guests to home-cooked steaks: for the July gastronomic issue, we visited the country feasts of our newsmaker friends.
The owner of the estate near the coast of the Gulf of Finland initially intended to make it unique and strictly individual - he long ago realized that he did not see himself either in the neoclassical mansions “a la Palladio”, or, especially, in the brick castles with towers and loopholes, which abundantly grew in the suburbs of St. Petersburg in the 1990s. Thus, Teplitsky built his city apartment with a transparent ceiling and a huge billiard room eighteen years ago, based on the atmosphere of the paintings of Salvador Dali.
The idea for a country residence came to Arkady Yuryevich’s mind when in 2010 he saw Tim Burton’s film adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. Of course, he did not set himself the task of copy-pasting a film with Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska - the house and garden are decorated based on the Hollywood blockbuster. The owner thought out the sequence and size of the rooms, their height and design himself; to develop the facades, he involved his friend, the architect Alexander Suponitsky, and the engineering and technical part of the work was carried out by professionals from numerous companies, with whom Teplitsky gained experience in the process of building shopping and entertainment complexes holding "Adamant" and its own restaurant chain Maximilian Brauhaus.
Arkady's friends and colleagues say that this house, with an area of 1,450 square meters, in which there is a lot of air and light, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows unusual for the St. Petersburg climate, is very similar to its creator - an open and hospitable man. The mixture of the real and the phantasmagorical, borrowed from Burton’s film, can be seen in everything: the marble floor in the main hall resembles a chessboard, the columns with classical capitals have metal plinths, the rounded staircase is framed on one side by ordinary railings, and on the other by glass, enormous sofas bloom on the elaborate sofas. flowers.
To create a “Wonderland” on a plot of half a hectare the businessman invited specialists from a landscape bureau, who designed the entrance area in the form of a round square with a fountain that reacts to the movements of guests, supplemented it with a platform for cocktails and a stage for concerts and celebrations, as well as a pond through which there is a path of “floating” on the water concrete slabs. Immediately behind the house there is a karaoke bar, accessed by arches made of linden trees. In the clearing in front of the facade there is a custom-made carousel with figures of the twins Tweedledum and Tweedledum, the March Hare and other Lewis Carroll characters - of course, it enjoys predictable success with the grandchildren of Arkady, the children of his daughter Anna, a teacher at the Faculty of Journalism at St. Petersburg State University. And then a fairy-tale labyrinth begins: an alley of molded spherical apple trees leads to a garden with an oak tree and a transparent table for crazy tea parties, then the sandstone path narrows and rises, and the pergolas surrounding it decrease in size - you can feel for yourself what Alice experienced when took a bite of a pie with the inscription “Eat me” and turned into a giantess.
Bending down and squeezing into the neighboring garden, you find yourself in a space with brick paving, low linden trees with trimmed crowns, psychedelic mushroom lamps and crooked mirrors. Card games can be played in a classic rotunda set in the adjoining white rose garden, and the labyrinth ends with a granite chessboard with giant queens and knights surrounded by green molded arborvitae rooks and pawns. All this splendor, which gardeners from the landscape bureau come to look after several times a month, always delights the guests and brings pleasure to the customer - Teplitsky says that every morning, when he wakes up, he gets a thrill from what he sees around him.
Steak
- Release the cooled meat from the vacuum packaging and leave for a couple of hours so that it reaches room temperature.
- Then squeeze a clove of garlic onto one side of a piece 2.5–3 centimeters thick, add a piece of butter and thyme.
- Heat one frying pan to 180 degrees, and the other to 120. In the first frying pan, fry the meat for one and a half minutes on each side to seal it - a crust should form through which the juice will not flow out. And then in a second frying pan, cook the steak for 4–4.5 minutes on both sides until cooked.
- You can use the Argentinean method, in which the meat is cooked on an inclined grate above the grill: first at the bottom, and then gradually raising it. Grapes marinated in wine will be an excellent complement to a juicy steak.
Arkady Yuryevich calls himself a gourmet, but, having visited hundreds of restaurants around the world, he still considers the main specialties of the country table to be shish kebab and steak, which he likes to make himself, although his home cook Dilya is a general professional. She cooks Uzbek dishes perfectly; she once adopted the recipes of the Odessa-Jewish table from the mother of the owner of the house, and learned Thai and Mexican cuisine from the chefs of Teplitsky’s restaurants. The vice president of the Adamant holding shared with us the most important secret of an excellent steak - don’t you know it yet? Here it is: A good steak requires first and foremost good meat.

Status real estate on the coast unites hundreds of St. Petersburg residents into an elite club. Some people do business there, others just relax. Billionaires, metropolitans, federal and regional officials, rectors - everyone is united by a love for the Gulf of Finland and the opportunity to build luxury villas and residential buildings on the coast. The editorial journalists flew by plane along the coast from Lisiy Nos to Sestroretsk and realized that the coast was turning into Rublevka in St. Petersburg. The market value of a square meter here can easily exceed 1 million rubles per hundred square meters. We continue to talk about the owners of luxury real estate in St. Petersburg. Following Nevsky Prospekt, Kamenny and Krestovsky Islands, the editors studied the owners and tenants of the largest land plots, residential and non-residential properties on the northern coast of the Gulf of Finland. The study took into account both public and private property, protected lands and beaches, ports and lifeguard stations, tennis courts and yacht clubs. When collecting data, data from Rosreestr, the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and geoinformation services were used.
There is no information about housing in our list famous Petersburgers- this is prohibited by law. In the case of private individuals, we are talking only about land ownership. This is open information available to everyone. Each owner decides for himself how to manage his own land: build a dacha there, a museum in honor of his ancestors, a cultural and leisure center or a cottage community for friends. All this can be found on the shores of the Gulf of Finland.
The list consists of 418 land plots from the WHSD to the village of Smolyachkovo on the administrative border of St. Petersburg. Their cadastral value is estimated at 24.4 billion rubles. The total area of the sites studied by the editors is 825 hectares. It should be noted that the cadastral valuation is quite close to market indicators. The discrepancies in the cadastral value of land among specific owners in Molodezhny (about 500 thousand rubles per hundred square meters) almost correspond to the prices for plots put up for sale in online storefronts. The situation is similar in Repino (from 800 thousand to 1.5 million rubles) and in Sestroretsk (450 thousand - 1.1 million rubles). However, there are circumstances that increase the cost of land. Thus, one of the advertisements for the sale of 20 acres in Sestroretsk talks about very respected (with three exclamation marks) neighbors. The cost of one hundred square meters here is already 5.7 million rubles.
The largest landowner on the bay continues to be the city authorities - they manage parks, children's camps, nature reserves and beaches directly - or budgetary institutions. Officially, the city owns 631 hectares of coastline (125 objects). In reality, according to estimates, city and federal authorities manage only 505 hectares of land with a cadastral value of 16.2 billion rubles. Privately owned lands were mainly acquired for housing and summer cottage construction. The editors counted 209 land plots purchased for these purposes. The remaining lands were purchased to accommodate sanatoriums, hotels, private golf clubs and healthcare facilities.
The bay is at your fingertips
The editors studied the owners and tenants of land plots on the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland from the WHSD to Zelenogorsk and further to the city borders.
The largest object included in the rating was the Resort Forest Park in Repino. It occupies 22.9 thousand hectares, but 199 hectares are located in the coastal zone - in Sestroretsk. This land is intended for recreational purposes, which means that according to the law it cannot be purchased, economic activity cannot be conducted here, the territory is used for tourism and sports purposes. It borders the Tarkhovsky Forest Park, part of which is very swampy.
The biggest
Large objects owned by the state include the Dubki Culture and Recreation Park (60.5 hectares), the Park of the 300th Anniversary of St. Petersburg (54.2 hectares), and berths at the base of the protective dam (75.6 hectares).
The largest leased property is also located near the dam. According to Rosreestr, in 2009 the North-West Invest company leased 154 hectares in Sestroretsk, Lisiy Nosu, and Zelenogorsk. In December 2016, the company entered into an agreement with the authorities providing for housing construction on these sites. This territory is part of the largest development project called “New Coast”. In November 2010, for 130 million rubles, North-West Invest acquired at an auction the right to develop new territories in the Gulf of Finland and build 3.5 million m2 of real estate there. Previously, in 2009, the company won an auction for the right to lease 144 hectares of the coastline for 36 million rubles. It is expected that new housing on the coast will appear by 2028. Company representatives reported that they would invest 300 billion rubles in construction.
For a long time, North-West Invest was associated with the richest Russian according to Forbes - Novatek and Sibur shareholder Leonid Mikhelson (his fortune is estimated at $18.4 billion). But last spring he left the project. According to sources, the sole owner of the offshore company, which owns the largest share of the company, became the rector of the St. Petersburg Mining University, the scientific director of Vladimir Putin and the co-owner of Phosagro. Vladimir Litvinenko .
Among the commercial companies with the largest plots on the Gulf of Finland, one can highlight the multifunctional complex "Lakhta Center" of Gazprom (more than 20 hectares), already visible from anywhere in the city, as well as the boarding house "Vostok-6" (15.7 hectares) , owned by the Leningrad Federation of Trade Unions, - city and regional officials often relax and hold budgetary events there.
Vladimir Litvinenko
The appetites of individual tenants are more modest. In this category, the undisputed leaders among land owners on the Gulf of Finland are Galina and Vladimir Zakharenkov: in the village of Molodeznoye they own almost 3 hectares. The great-grandson of the famous academician Andrei Bekhterev rents 10 hectares in Smolyachkovo. But unlike the Zakharenkovs, he uses the site not for dacha construction, but to maintain the memory of the academician. In the village of Ino there is the “Quiet Coast” estate, recognized as a monument of historical and cultural heritage, although the museum there is still not open.
Expensive lands
The most expensive land in the state's assets can be considered the Resort Forest Park, the Dubki Culture and Recreation Park and the port in Lisiy Nos. These objects are the largest on the map; they were valued by cadastral engineers at 10.5 billion rubles. The largest private owner of land on the Gulf of Finland is co-owner of VAD CJSC Viktor Perevalov. He personally owns two plots on Parkovaya Street in Sestroretsk with an approximate value of about 100 million rubles and one plot on Staraya Street there for 45.4 million rubles.
Other large private landowners include Vice President of Adamant Holding Company Boris Berson (4.5 hectares in Repino worth 100 million rubles), General Director of MIK LLC Elena Parshkova (58.6 million for a plot of almost 1 hectare on Pochtovaya Street in Molodezhny), General Director of the construction and investment corporation "Stroykomplekt" Dmitry Tyutin (54.3 million rubles for a summer cottage in Repino). Among the commercial structures, in addition to the Lakhta Center and the Vostok-6 boarding house mentioned above, one can note the Sea Surf boarding house (12.7 hectares in Zelenogorsk worth 301 million rubles), Moris Company LLC (5.6 hectares in Zelenogorsk - 347 million rubles), "French Club" (3.5 hectares in Ushkovo on Sovetskaya Street - 104 million rubles).

In Lisiy Nos, on Morskie Dubki Street, next to the old rescue station No. 19, a recreational area of 0.2 hectares was rented by Nevskie Technologies LLC, owned by Vitaly Cherkasov, an entrepreneur originally from the Magadan region. The land plot is located in a water protection zone and has a town planning code of P0. By law, it can only be used to “preserve riparian areas of value for outdoor recreation,” but major development is permitted. In the photo you can see a large white house with a red roof, surrounded by a high fence, as well as two small hangar-type buildings. The cadastral value of the site is estimated at 4.9 million rubles.
According to Novaya Gazeta and the magazine Your Privy Councilor, the company registered on this site in 2005; Rosreestr refers to the lease agreement from 2008. At the same time, part of the coast was reclaimed, the work was presented as “protection of the coastal borders of the Russian Federation.”
Neva Technologies is adjacent to the property of billionaire Arkady Stolpner, one of the founders of the Diagnostic and Treatment Center of the International Institute of Biological Systems. S. M. Berezina. Its plot (about 20 acres) has been owned since 2004. The cadastral value of the site is slightly higher than 5.6 million rubles.
On the same Pribrezhnaya street in Lisy Nos is the land of the head of PTK-Terminal, Nikolai Popov. He owns two plots of 0.3 hectares, on which there is a huge chessboard. Rosreestr estimates the total cadastral value of the territory at 18 million rubles. A little further, on the same Morskie Dubki street, is the house of Evgenia Skachkova, director of the department of management and operation of real estate of the Maris management company. The area of the plot is slightly smaller - 0.12 hectares, the cadastral value is 5.8 million rubles. The largest landowner of this street in Lisiy Nos can be called Mikhail Golubev, director of the North-Western Construction Corporation. He owns four land plots with a total area of almost 0.5 hectares. The cadastral value of the objects is estimated at 26.6 million rubles. He owns one of the plots jointly with Konstantin Ivanov.
Sestroretsk
On Rucheynaya Street you can meet Oleg Kuzin, co-owner of Fort Group, head of the representative office of the Leningrad Region Government under the Government of the Russian Federation. According to Rosreestr, he has owned a land plot with an area of 0.12 hectares and a cadastral value of 6.5 million rubles since 1997. A plot of similar area is reflected in the official’s declarations. On Staraya Street in Sestroretsk, two plots are owned by the executive director of the Lakhta Center multifunctional complex, Alexander Bobkov. The area of the plots is 0.49 hectares, the cadastral value exceeds 16.7 million rubles. The territory has been owned since 2002 and 2007. On the same street, a little to the right and further from the shore of the bay, you can meet the co-owner of the road construction company VAD, billionaire Viktor Perevalov. He owns a plot of more than 1 hectare. The cadastral value of this land is estimated at 45.5 million rubles. It was purchased back in 2010. In addition, he has two plots on Parkovaya Street with a total area of 0.59 hectares. The cadastral value of these two plots exceeds 100 million rubles.
On neighboring Tarkhovskaya Street there is the property of the vice-president of the Adamant holding company, billionaire Arkady Teplitsky (on the picture). He acquired the land relatively recently - in 2016.
On Parkovaya Street, next to Perevalov’s property, there is a plot of the municipal deputy of the Vvedensky district, Oleg Kalyadin. Since 2013, United Russia has been coordinating the project “The Gardener’s House is the Support of the Family,” and has owned the land plot in Sestroretsk since 2003.
On the other side of the plot of the head of the VAD, billionaire State Duma deputy Sergei Petrov acquired land. He has owned a share of the 0.23 hectare site on Parkovaya Street since 2002. A plot of similar area is reflected in the parliamentarian’s declaration.

Arkady Teplitsky: “bisons” get in during unstable times
How did the restaurant business come into your life?
– You know, I always get angry when they write about me: ‘Famous restaurateur Arkady Teplitsky’. Because it's wrong to call me that. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am not a restaurateur. Mr. Novikov is a restaurateur, Mr. Lapin is a restaurateur, but I am not. Yes, I have several restaurants (five. – Ed.). I open them sometimes alone, sometimes with friends, because I love feeding people.

“There is a complete lack of democracy in Russia”
Arkady Teplitsky, co-owner of the Adamant holding: “The main trend: Russia has finally entered a civilized society. During this decade, the country established itself as a strong power. As for business, it has become more Europeanized, moving towards globalization and towards formatted relationships. Whereas before the beginning of the 2000s it was completely artisanal, Russian, with its own laws and foundations. This decade has passed under the sign of the development of network business in a variety of segments. If 10-12 years ago there were only individual 24-hour stores throughout the city, now they have been replaced by brands that are known to everyone.

What is the current shareholder structure of Adamant?
– The holding was organized by three main owners – Igor Leitis, Evgeniy Gurevich and Mikhail Bazhenov. This is how it remains (in 50% of projects), although in some areas, of course, there are partners who have been with us for 17 years, and we have all known each other for a long time. These are Boris Berson, Arkady Teplitsky, Anatoly Marinichev, Alexey Gnessin. There are other partners in various projects. Nowadays it is very difficult to become a partner. They don't take it anymore.

Great October restaurant
Since 2002, the Hermitage restaurant, managed by the Brinar company, has been operating in the premises owned by the museum. According to the owner of Brinar and co-owner of the Adamant holding Arkady Teplitsky, another catering establishment on Palace Square will also be in demand.

PUNCTURE WITH WHEEL
The conclusion of the scientists, however, did not dampen the desires of businessmen. They still want to install a 52-meter structure with 32 booths in the center, each of which will be equipped with an electronic guide speaking four languages and information about the history of the city and its attractions. As the commercial director of the Antey corporation, Arkady Teplitsky, who, in collaboration with the Adamant company, is trying to implement this project, told reporters, their persistence is explained by several reasons. Firstly, the absence in St. Petersburg, with rare exceptions (the colonnade of St. Isaac's Cathedral), of observation platforms.
